If I were to have unlimited cash on hand, I would dine at KIN every night of the week. The family reunion feel of the staff service, the utilization of locally sourced food in uniquely delicious cuisine, and having the company of my best friend made my night an extraordinarily memorable “bucket list” experience. (Insert applause, catcalling, wolf whistles, and foot stomping accompanied by happy faces here!!)

My girlfriend and I went to Kin for our anniversary dinner this June. From the first course o the last course, the experience was delicately crafted and the food was delicious. I really enjoyed how they pick a theme for each meal (this one was James Beard’s life in honor of their recent nomination) and each course was thoughtfully explained as they served it. The dish selection was creative, engaging, and (most importantly) delicious. Chris (founder/head chef) came by and talked with us for 20 or so minutes after the meal which was also a joy. Thank you Kin staff for a wonderful expedience and memory!

KIN provides one of if not THE finest dining experiences from entry to exit in Boise. The personal welcome and escort to the bar, the private bar, the elevated bar are just the start. The art-inspired courses are one of a kind. One of our guests requested non-alcoholic beverage pairings and they were the most thoughtful we've ever experienced. The course presentation is short but informative and enhances the meal. Our other guests who have traveled the world commented that this was one of their best meals ever. And then there is the food. Unique, exquisite, filling, but nothing is over the top. The wrap up is effective but never lets down until you are out the door. If you've not been to KIN, make a reservation today.

This was my first time at this extraordinary culinary team's gorgeous new location. It's sleek and sophisticated from the work by artists Jon Morse to the cool exposed concrete walls in the lounge. I'm a gluten-free, sober vegan and they accommodated me beautifully without missing a beat (or beet). Brilliant, satisfying and imaginative from the lion's mane mushroom main course to the delightful NA pairings! I highly recommend this experience to anyone. My dining partner had the same amazing experience with his meal.

Kin is by far the best place to eat in Boise! They take ordinary food and magically transform it mind blowing delights. You feel welcome here and treated special. Everything about this place is great! It has a hip artistic vibe. Everything is locally sourced and high quality. If you live or are traveling to Boise eat here! It is the best place to eat in town if you can grab a spot!

KIN provides an incredible dining experience. The meal was outstanding, interactions with the team couldn’t have been better, and the wine pairing was well done! Some reviews stated that there wasn’t enough food or wine provided and that couldn’t have been further from the truth. Thank you KIN, it was a treat to experience and we will be back! 😊

This is more then going out for dinner. KIN dining is an experience of art, culture, points of interest in the food selections. I was exposed to selection of ingredients, flavors and presentation that matches, maybe even exceeds the art on the walls. Our thanks to the KIN team!

Friends had been recommending Kin for several months before we finally made it, and it did not disappoint! We had a wonderful time -- food and ambience were fantastic. The staff were incredibly kind: at the end of dinner, I commented on how great the coffee smelled & they sent us home with some coffee grounds! Highly recommend for a special treat.

Words cannot express the culinary experience KIN has to offer. I could try to explain everything I liked but I would just end up rambling. My wife and I will be returning for a future Supper Club, but until then, nothing will compare to the meal we had there.

Lovely concept and experience! The staff are excellent, the food phenomenal. I was a little miffed that non-alcoholic pairings cost the same as the wine pairings? They could at least be less. This was not communicated on the website either, where I read that wine pairings were an add-on cost of $40. I didn’t have wine, but my husband did. The pours were less of a pairing and more of a tasting, honestly. Not worth $40. Save your money and buy a bottle instead, is my advice. Or stick with water, which is what I should have done. Overall the surroundings are lovely, stylish, and clean. We enjoyed the family style seating too.

My husband and I are hooked on the prix fixe experience and this was our first visit to Kin, our Christmas gift to each other. Kin and the hosts did a great job of making the evening fun and unforgettable. They contacted me shortly after I made the reservation to confirm and find out if we had any food restrictions and were able to provide me with delicious gluten free alternatives to a few minor parts of the dinner. Everything tasted great and was creative and just enough out of the ordinary to make the experience an adventure. The atmosphere was great and we chatted all night with the couple next to us and just had fabulous conversations. Good food, good wine, good chat, all I want in a fun dinner. I thought the theme was creative and special and they had a young woman sing for us at the end of the night, just a beautiful night. We also had a few cocktails at the Art Haus before dinner and that was also fun, we will definitely come back.

Kin is a unique place in Boise. I would consider it as the most gastronomic restaurant in town. The food is delicious with high quality products and a very creative cuisine with a good balance of flavors. The wine pairing was a good choice also even if I would have prefered to know the alternatives and the price in order to decide if I would go for it. The service is great, professional and caring. The location is ideal and the restaurant room is nice. The concept of having everybody around the same table is excellent when it comes to meeting new people, but the noise level makes it almost impossible to have a conversation with the person in front of you. Probably the main reason why they may never compete for a Michelin star.
